NG tube on (free) drainage
I think "derivación" means that the tube has been connected to a drainage bag. It's probably being left on free drainage (i.e., using gravity) as there's no mention of suction.
Conectar la sonda a la fuente de succión o derivación o, si es su indicación, proceder al lavado gástrico o a la infusión del fármaco o alimento

NG decompression tube
Could it be a nasogastric tube inserted to deviate gas and secretions from the stomach, in order to avoid the build-up of pressure in the abdomen and acid reflux/aspirations from the stomach.This is done in critically ill patients because their gastric emptying is often delayed (or not working at all).
